I needed to build an initrd image and a complementary boot
disk with
support for my scsi card and for raid0. In the process I
noticed that
mkinitrd and mkbootdisk work slightly differently and don't
agree
completely with their respective man pages.
Man page for mkinitrd
mkinitrd [-fv] [--with=module] [--preload=module]
[--omit-scsi-modules] [--version] image
kernel-version
when executing program however it seems to prefer "--with
module" (in my
case --with raid0)
while man page for mkbootdisk says
mkbootdisk [--version] [--noprompt] [--verbose]
[--mkinitrdargs <args>] [--device <devicefile>]
<kernel>
When executing mkbootdisk I found that I needed to specify
the initrd
options as "--mkinitrdargs --with=module" (here I used
--mkinitrdargs
--with=raid0)
